        Bm     E/G#           A
I left home a long long time ago
      D/F#            G
In a tin can for the road
        E/G#              A
With a suitcase and some songs
        Bm                E/G#
Chasing miles through the night time
         A            D/F#              G
Making tracks with no time for looking back
        E/G#           A
To the place where I belong

Chorus:
Bm         G         D
How these days grow long
        G               A
But I'm on my way back home
           D           G
It's been hard to be away
Bm     G           D               G
How I miss you and I just want to kiss you
     A         D                G     A
And I'm gonna love you till my dying day
 G         A         Bm
How these days grow long

When you're sad you know I wish I could be there
To make your sorrows disappear
And set your troubles free
It's not fair for me to be this far from you
But I promise to stay true, wherever I might be

Chorus:
Bm          G
Time keeps burning
      D             G
The wheels keep on turning
     A                D          G
Sometimes I feel I'm wasting my days
Bm     G           D               G
How I miss you and I just want to kiss you
      A        D                G     A
And I'm gonna love you till my dying day
G          A         Bm
How these days grow long
 G    D     G  D   A
Time keeps burning on
 A    G    A    G    Bm E A D G A Bm
How these days grow long

Now I'm lost in a sea of sunken dreams
While the sound of drunken screams
echos in the night
But I know all of this will come to pass
And I'll be with you at last forever by your side

Chorus:
How these days grow long
But I'm on my way back home
It's been hard to be away
How I miss you and I just want to kiss you
And I'm gonna love you till my dying day

Time keeps burning
The wheels keep on turning
Sometimes I feel I'm wasting my days
How I miss you and I just want to kiss you
And I'm gonna love you till my dying day
How these days grow long
Time keeps burning on
How these days grow long
